Question

is the slope of this line positive or negative?
a) positive

b) negative

graph of a line on a coordinate plane

Explanation:

To determine the slope's sign, observe the line's direction. A line with a positive slope rises from left to right, while a negative slope falls. The given line rises as we move from left to right (e.g., from the point at (1, -3) to (4, -2), the x - value increases and the y - value also increases). So the slope is positive.

Answer:

a) positive
